GSG Posted May 20, 2014 Share Posted May 20, 2014 Teen faces life in prison over hash brownies A Texas teenager is facing five years to life in prison for allegedly baking and selling pot brownies. Jacob Lavoro, a 19-year-old from Round Rock, Texas, was charged with a first degree felony because he used hash oil instead of marijuana, allowing the state to weigh the brownies as a whole — including the sugar, cocoa, butter and other ingredients — to calculate the weight of the drugs. Police searched Lavoro's apartment, where they allegedly found 660 grams — or 1.45 pounds — of baked goods (six bags of cookies, nine bags of brownies) along with 16 ounces of marijuana and $1,675 in cash. "That's higher than the punishment range for sexual assault, higher than the punishment range for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon," Jamie Spencer, legal counsel for NORML's Texas chapter, told KUTV. "It's kind of crazy." From the comments: Meanwhile, back in Feburary in Texas, a judge on ordered a Texas teenager (age 16) who was sentenced to 10 years’ probation in a drunken-driving crash that killed four people to go to a rehabilitation facility paid for by his parents.4 people dead: 10 years probation, no jail time, his parents spend money on rehab. His defense: the kid's wealthy parents coddled him into a sense of irresponsibility. The expert termed the condition “affluenza.”That's right, he was too rich to understand what he had done and too rich to go to jail for it. Meanwhile, a guy selling pot brownies could get life.God bless Texas. Quote Link to comment

GSG Posted May 23, 2014 Share Posted May 23, 2014 Browsing the "Good Beer" and "What are you drinking?" threads gave me a thought... If marijuana is legalized across the country, would we have a "Good Bud" or "What are you smoking?" threads? Quote Link to comment

suh_fan93 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 Colorado Sells $19 Million in Cannabis in March: $1.9 Million Goes to Schools and Crime Down 10% Not counting medicinal weed sales, Colorado sold nearly $19 million in their recreational weed market in the month of March, and $1.9 million of that goes straight into government coffers and towards building schools. At this pace, according to PolicyMic, Colorado will make $30 million this year in pot taxes alone. What’s even more promising is that these numbers are still low estimates, as the recreational and medicinal marijuana markets (coinciding just fine, take note Washington) are likely to keep trending upward.
